I watched as Ron, Hermione, Jordyn, Ginny, and Cory used Floo Powder and disappeared one by one. I sighed knowing that they would be safe. I turned to Taylor.
"Are you sure you don't want to go home too?" I asked. "It would be safer there." Taylor shook her head.
"I'm coming too!" she said looking up at me with a determined look in her eyes. "I want to!" I sighed.
"If anything happens to you..." I began.
"It won't," Taylor interrupted. "'Cause you're with me Schy-san!" I nodded and then we went to Malfoy Manor.
Draco and I arrived first then Harry and Taylor followed.
"Where's your mum?" I asked. Draco looked around his room as if he expected her to be here.
"I dunno," he replied. He walked to his beside table and picked up a silver bell. He rang it and a few minutes later a house elf ran in.
"Yes Young Master?" the elf asked. "How may I help you?"
"Where is my mother?" Draco asked.
"I believe she is in the parlor," the elf answered. Draco nodded.
"You may go," he said. The elf bowed deeply and left. Draco turned to us.
"Well let's go then," I said. I took a hold of Taylor's left hand with my right and Draco took a hold of her right. Harry came to stand on the other side of me. We walked into the hallway.
"Will she want to listen to us?" I asked as we approached the parlor.
"Probably not," Draco said. "But we have to tell her. Father let Voldemort kill you and then that spell he used might have killed me if Harry and Taylor hadn't been there to do reviving spells on me. He tried to kill you again didn't he?" I nodded.
"Yeah but there was this flash of light that made him disappear."
"That was probably Voldemort," Draco said. "He wants to be the one to kill you." I laughed weakly.
"Nice of him," I said. "Saving from your dad so he can kill me himself." We reached the parlor and walked in.
"Mother," Draco said. "We need to talk to you." Narcissa looked up at us.
"What is it Draco?" she asked. "Who are they?" Her eyes focused on Harry and Taylor.
"I'm Taylor," my little sister said looking at Narcissa defiantly. Narcissa smiled a little.
"This is one of your sisters?" she asked me. I nodded.
"And I'm Harry," Harry added.
"Ah, Mr. Potter," she said. "How nice to meet you." I frowned. Why was Narcissa being so nice? This wasn't normal behavior for a Death Eater. She could take us all out in about two minutes! Why was she being nice?
"Draco," I hissed. "I not so sure about this now. Your mum's being nice to those two...it's not normal." Draco nodded.
"Mother," he said. "Don't you have a problem with Taylor? Or Potter?" Narcissa blinked.
"Yes...but seeing as I can't very well do anything to them I figured I would be nice to them." I gasped and my grip on Taylor's hand tightened.
"We need to talk to you Mrs. Malfoy," I said trying to keep my voice steady. Narcissa smiled.
"Please Schyler, we've known each other for three years," she replied. "Call me Narcissa. Now what do you need to tell me?"
"It's about Father," Draco said. Narcissa's eyes narrowed.
"What about him?"
"He let Voldemort kill Schyler..." Draco began.
"How dare you!" Narcissa shouted. "Your father was following the orders of the Dark Lord! You should have no problem with that!"
"Mother! Father let him kill Schyler! I can't be fine with that! Besides that he attacked me when I brought Schyler back to life. I wouldn't give her to him and he hit me with some spell. I would have died if Taylor and Harry hadn't been there to do reviving spells on me." Narcissa was quiet for a minute.
"When your father returns I will tell him what you have told me," she said quietly. "I'm sure you will be punished."
"Mother!" Draco yelled. "Listen to what I'm telling you!" Then the door opened and Lucius walked into the room.
"Father," Draco said. Lucius glared at all of us.
"How dare you being that filth into this house," he hissed. "You know very well that I do no allow it!" I glared at him. He meant Taylor and Harry.
"What're you doing here then?" Taylor asked.
"Taylor shush!" I muttered. Taylor smirked at Lucius.
"Come here," Lucius said. Draco started toward his father.
"You too Marcin," he said. I pushed Taylor into Harry's arms and walked to Lucius with Draco.
"You disgust me," he hissed. Then he punched Draco in the face. Blood began to gush from his nose.
"You git!" I shouted.
"Schyler no!" Draco cried as I drew my wand. Lucius back fisted me across the face. I stumbled away from him and I dropped to my knees. I glared at him and got to my feet.
"You think you can beat me?" Lucius asked. "I am more powerful than you are, child." I growled in anger and ran at him again.
"Rictus Sempra," Lucius said in a bored voice. I flew backwards and Harry ran to catch me before I hit the window. We skidded to a stop just before hitting it. Taylor came over to us and looked up at me worriedly. I straightened up and placed my hand on top of her head for a second before I ran at Lucius again.
"Why do you insist on fighting me?" Lucius asked. "I could kill you in a second."
"No you couldn't," I said slowing to a walk. "Voldemort wants to do it himself." Lucius glared at me.
"I can still hurt you," he hissed raising his wand.
"Father don't!" Draco shouted. Lucius kicked him the chin and he flew backwards and then hit the floor.
"Be silent!" he hissed.
"Draco-kun!" Taylor cried.
"Taylor be quiet," Harry said trying to keep her from running to us. Lucius's eyes flickered to the two of them.
"Hey!" I said. "Don't look at them, look at me! I'm the one you want." I had to keep his attention off of Harry and Taylor. He turned back to me and pointed his wand at my chest. I gulped and raised my own wand. Lucius smirked and hissed the spell he had used on Draco. It hit me in the chest and I fell to the floor barely breathing.
"No!" the other three yelled. They ran over to me.
"Schy-san!" Taylor cried shaking my shoulder. "Schy-san!" Draco pulled out his wand and pointed it at me.
"Enervate!" he said. Nothing happened. Draco shook his head weakly and pointed his wand at me again.
"Enervate! Enervate! Enervate! Why isn't it working?" Lucius laughed.
"Because you're not powerful enough," he sneered. Taylor drew her wand and pointed it at me.
"Enervate!" she said. Again nothing happened.
"Maybe if we did it together," Harry said.
"You won't get the chance," Lucius replied. "I may not be able to kill the girl but the Dark Lord said nothing about the three of you. I am absolutely sure that he would congratulate me for killing a filthy Mudblood." He pointed his wand at the three of them.
"Lucius," Narcissa said. "You can't kill our son!" Lucius turned to her.
"I will do as I please Narcissa, now be silent!" He turned back to us and pointed his wand at the others again. Suddenly, my hand twitched weakly. I pushed myself into a sitting position.
"Schyler!" Draco gasped.
"Schy-san!" Taylor cried. I got to my feet swaying unsteadily. Lucius gasped.
"But...how...?" he stammered.
"I can't let you hurt them," I growled. "I can't let you kill them!" I picked up my wand.
"Accio wand," Lucius said. My wand flew into his hand. My eyes widened in fear. I couldn't fight him without a wand!
"That's not fair!" Taylor shouted. "Cheater!" Lucius laughed coldly.
"You should teach the girl to be silent Marcin," he sneered. "Drawing attention to yourself only gets you killed faster." He hissed the spell again and I fell into Draco's arms too weak to even open my eyes.
"That spell can kill if it's used on the same person more than once," Lucius informed them."There's a good chance that she will die."
Taylor took a hold of my hand and tugged on it as if that would wake me up.
"You won't be able to get away with this," Harry said. Lucius pointed his wand at them.
"We'll see about that. Avada..." Suddenly, the door burst open.
"Stupefy!" Dumbledore yelled. Lucius fell to the floor. Dumbledore and several Ministry wizards came into the room.
"Are you all right?" Dumbledore asked.
"Schyler's been hurt," Draco said. "She's barely breathing." Dumbledore looked down at me.
"Have you tried the reviving spell?" he asked.
"Taylor and I did but it didn't work," Draco answered.
"Why don't you try all together?" Draco nodded and laid me on the floor. The three of them formed a triangle around me. Taylor was on my right, Harry was on my left, and Draco was at the top point, just above my head. They pointed their wands at me.
"Enervate!" they cried. Slowly I opened my eyes and I looked up at them.
"Hey," I said. Taylor smiled widely and threw her arms around me as I sat up. Draco wrapped his arms around my shoulders and Harry took a hold of my hand. I smiled at them. Dumbledore handed me my wand.
"Will my father be arrested?" Draco asked. Dumbledore nodded.
"I'm afraid so," he said. "Did your mother help him at all?" Draco shook his head. Dumbledore nodded and the Ministry wizards took Lucius away. I looked back at Draco and saw that there was blood on his chin and some was still coming out of his nose.
"Draco, you're bleeding," I said. Draco grinned and turned away to clean up his face and use the healing spell.
"Can we go home now Schy-san?" Taylor asked. I nodded and we walked back to Draco's room, used my Floo Powder, and went to my house.
